I think it might be a clue, actually:
When Strong Bad first reads the email, he says something along the lines of, "I'll have to look into that sometime!" Then if/when you have him check the message again, he'll "hmmm" (suggestively, perhaps?). I did this before I tried the shears on the Homestar float -- the beginnings of "Enlarged-Head" Homestar. So my guess is that, in a roundabout sort of way, the email is supposed to nudge players towards beheading the float.
Still seems to be a stretch to me, so I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out to be, say, a running joke for the season instead -- or just a random aside. It's my guess, though, FWIW. ^^;
